Recommended rules

The support of extended BCCH (parameter BCCH_EXT) is HIGHLY recommended in cells having adjacent cells in several frequency bands and at least 18 adjacent frequencies within the same band. Value 3 should be used only in case of good 3G FDD coverage. The recommended rule is linked to the fact that when the SI2bis message is sent, it is recommended to activate the extended BCCH i) for 2G to 2G cell reselection to reduce the cell reselection duration ii) for 2G to 3G cell reselection to reduce the acquisition of the system information on 3G cells. This parameter is available in the MFS through the BSCGP interface. - in case of Non Evolium serving cell, if neighborhood for reselection is mixed 2G/3G then no more than 31 frequencies (the OMC cannot performed the described mandatory check, but still present to give the really concerned case)

If the NETWORK_CONTROL_ORDER is set to NC2 mode of operation for R99 onwards MS or NC2 mode of operation for all MS, then the 3G search is systematically deactivated when activating the NC2 mode through the Packet Measurement Order [NC2] message. If EN_2G_TO_3G_CELL_RESELECTION = "Enabled with 3G search activated while the UE/MS is in GMM ready state, even if Network_Control_Order > 1", then the 3G search is activated even when activating the NC2 mode (the Packet Measurement Order [NC2]

The parameter shall be coded over 8 bits as a provision for future frequency bands support. - if FREQUENCY_RANGE = "GSM-DCS" then CELL_PARTITION_TYPE must be equal to "Concentric" . - The micro concentric, mini concentric and indoor concentric cells must be multiband (the allowed FREQUENCY_RANGE is PGSM-DCS1800 or EGSMDCS1800). This restriction does not apply to the external cells. - The frequency range of an extended inner cell has to be the same as the frequency range of the corresponding extended outer cell, where PGSM (0) and EGSM (2) are here considered as belonging to the same frequency range. The OMC-R checks the consistency between the setting of FREQUENCY_RANGE and PLMN_FREQUENCY_BANDS parameters: - At cell creation - When the value of FREQUENCY_RANGE parameter is modified. However, no check is performed when the PLMN_FREQUENCY_BANDS is modified. Only the following values of the FREQUENCY_RANGE parameter are allowed depending on the value of the PLMN_FREQUENCY_BANDS parameter: - FREQUENCY_RANGE = PGSM (GSM900) or EGSM (GSM900) or DCS1800 or PGSM-DCS1800 or EGSM-DCS1800 if the PLMN_FREQUENCY_BANDS is set to "GSM900 and DCS1800 bands", - FREQUENCY_RANGE = GSM850 or DCS1800 if the PLMN_FREQUENCY_BANDS is set to "GSM850 and DCS1800 bands", - FREQUENCY_RANGE = GSM850 or DCS1900 if the PLMN_FREQUENCY_BANDS is set to "GSM850 and DCS1900 bands", - FREQUENCY_RANGE = PGSM (GSM900) or EGSM (GSM900) or DCS1900 if the PLMN_FREQUENCY_BANDS is set to "GSM900 and DCS1900 bands".

If Max_PDCH = 0 then MAX_GPRS_CS = CS-2. The aim of this last rule is to prevent the BSC to trigger uselessly the algorithms of adjust ranking and transmission pool set up (lead time and outage) for CS3 and CS4, in case Max_PDCH = 0 (i.e. GPRS is not allowed)

Recommended rules

R_AVERAGE_GPRS shall not be set to a bitrate higher than the useful bitrate corresponding to MAX_GPRS_CS (e.g. if MAX_GPRS_CS = CS2 => R_AVERAGE_GPRS shall not be higher than 12kbps) R_MIN_GPRS shall not be set to a bitrate higher than the useful bitrate corresponding to Max_GPRS_CS. If the above recommended rule is not fulfilled, then some RT PFCs can be accepted by the BSS whereas it will not be possible to handle their associated GBR. This may result in RT PFC downgrades to Best Effort. For consistency reasons, MAX_GPRS_CS_SHORT_DATA_DL and MAX_GPRS_CS_SHORT_DATA_UL shall NOT be higher than any of the MAX_GPRS_CS values defined in the cells of the MFS. 1) This parameter is defined at cell level so that CS-3 and CS-4 can be used only in cells where the radio link quality is sufficiently good. 2) This parameter can be set to CS-3 or CS-4 only if the CS-3/CS-4 feature has been bought by the Customer. CS-3 and CS-4 are supported on Evolium BTS only.

If EGPRS is activated in the cell, TRX_PREF_MARK (BCCH TRX) = 0 and the BCCH TRX is associated to a TRE hardware and a transmission pool allowing the usage of 8PSK, the operator shall ensure that the difference in the mean output powers between GSMK and 8-PSK signals is less than 2 dB in order to be compliant with 3GPP TS 05.05 and 3GPP TS 05.08 requirements (or 4 dB if an SDCCH timeslot is defined in timeslot number 7 of the BCCH TRX).

If Ater_Usage_Threshold_Short_Data is not set to 100% (100% meaning that there is no Ater usage optimization for short data MS transfers), then it is recommended to set it to 30%, except if the drawbacks of another value (as explained in the external comments) are deemed acceptable. For all the Ater_Usage_Threshold values being defined for the BSSs handled by the MFS, Ater_Usage_Threshold_Short_Data <= Ater_Usage_Threshold 30%. Indeed, for consistency reasons, short data MS transfer optimizations should come prior to high Ater usage optimizations. If it is seen as an important goal to save Ater resources in the GPU, a value of Ater_Usage_Threshold_Short_Data < 100% is coherent with a low value of the T_GCH_INACTIVITY and T_GCH_INACTIVITY_LAST timers.

Internal Comment External Comment

-Setting Ater_Usage_Threshold_Short_Data to 100% means that there is no Ater usage optimization for short data MS transfers. If Ater_Usage_Threshold_Short_Data is not set to 100%: - the higher the Ater_Usage_Threshold_Short_Data value, the fewer ping time degradations and data transfer delays will be experienced, - the lower the Ater_Usage_Threshold_Short_Data value, the more accurate the Ater consumption in the GPU will be (i.e. potential wastes of Ater resources will be minimized in the GPU).

SW change from B10 MRn (n not supporting the WI_PR_CPU_OVERLOAD parameter): Due to the fact that the MFS goes to MRm (with 1 <= n < m, m supporting the WI_PR_CPU_OVERLOAD parameter) before the BSC, it is needed that the OMC plays the WI_PRnm migration rule when going to MRm. As a consequence, it is needed to play a GPRS resynchro at OMCMFS SW change time from MRn to MRm. --

0: PGSM (GSM 900), 1: DCS 1800, 2: EGSM, 3: DCS 1900, 4: PGSM-DCS1800, 5: EGSM-DCS1800, 6: GSM 850, 7: GAN, 8..255: for future use. The parameter shall be coded over 8 bits as a provision for future frequency bands support. - if FREQUENCY_RANGE = "GSM-DCS" then CELL_PARTITION_TYPE must be equal to "Concentric" . - if FREQUENCY_RANGE = GAN then CELL_RANGE must be equal to GAN - the value GAN is only allowed for the OMC external cells - The micro concentric, mini concentric and indoor concentric cells must be multiband (the allowed FREQUENCY_RANGE is PGSM-DCS1800 or EGSMDCS1800). This restriction does not apply to the external cells. - The frequency range of an extended inner cell has to be the same as the frequency range of the corresponding extended outer cell, where PGSM (0) and EGSM (2) are here considered as belonging to the same frequency range. The OMC-R checks the consistency between the setting of FREQUENCY_RANGE and PLMN_FREQUENCY_BANDS parameters: - At cell creation - When the value of FREQUENCY_RANGE parameter is modified. However, no check is performed when the PLMN_FREQUENCY_BANDS is modified. Only the following values of the FREQUENCY_RANGE parameter are allowed depending on the value of the PLMN_FREQUENCY_BANDS parameter: - FREQUENCY_RANGE = PGSM (GSM900) or EGSM (GSM900) or DCS1800 or PGSM-DCS1800 or EGSM-DCS1800 if the PLMN_FREQUENCY_BANDS is set to "GSM900 and DCS1800 bands", - FREQUENCY_RANGE = GSM850 or DCS1800 if the PLMN_FREQUENCY_BANDS is set to "GSM850 and DCS1800 bands", - FREQUENCY_RANGE = GSM850 or DCS1900 if the PLMN_FREQUENCY_BANDS is set to "GSM850 and DCS1900 bands", - FREQUENCY_RANGE = PGSM (GSM900) or EGSM (GSM900) or DCS1900 if the PLMN_FREQUENCY_BANDS is set to "GSM900 and DCS1900 bands".
